We present you the third issue of 2018 with a total of 12 studies, including 9 original research articles and 3 case reports.
In the original research articles, there are three different studies examining the relationship between HIV and toxop- lasmosis, malaria and intestinal protozoa, a study about cutaneous leishmaniasis modeling in the province of Mersin, and a study emphasizing the state of cystic echinococcus. Moreover, there are articles about head louse, bird louse, and Culex pipiens in the area of entomology. A detailed article on the molecular characterization of moth flies is also included in the issue. In the case reports, three cases on different subjects, including falciparum malaria, myiasis and toxoplasmosis, which we think you will find interesting, are presented in detail.
The writing rules of our journal have been renewed and detailed. I would like to point out that it would be of great help to the authors in order to speed up the process during the preparation of the articles and the process of uploa- ding the articles to the system. The manuscript rules and all of the required forms can be reached on the web page of our journal under the tab of “Instruction for Authors”.
I would like to restate that making citations from the articles in our journal for the studies that will be published in the journals included in the SCI/SCI-Expanded is very important during the application process of our journal to this index. I hope that this issue of the “Turkish Parasitology Journal”, which is one of the most important components of our scientific field and one of tools that strengthen us, will contribute to your scientific works and knowledge.
